Are you talking about Varcoe's horrendous wobble, so I guess you are joking? It's put his career into eclipse the last ten or twelve years or so. He was once a mainstay for baritone parts on Hyperion and Chandos, but he's pretty much disappeared. Even the wobble-tolerant Brits couldn't take it any more. He was a favorite of mine twenty years ago, but most of his later recordings are unlistenable.

Singers are singers and most of them are crazy, with good reason.
If they are good, I enjoy them.
If they are not, I ignore them in a way I cannot ignore a bad string player.
Bad string players can practice harder, go to rehab, or quit.
Bad singers are at the mercy of involuntary muscle responses, and some times it takes getting to the point there are more bad nights than good to bring the curtain down.

Understand. It's difficult to ignore bad singing like that, however.
